    How close is 3.73 to 4.10. I can get 2 salvageable trucks dirt cheap and Can I mix them to build hunting truck and be OK? Both are 4x4 tacomas. One has 3.73 and the other has 4.10. So one will have 3.73 front diff with a 4.10 rear diff. Will this work safely in 4x4? I'm no expert and any info would be appreciated

    No, it will not.

    You'll get the front wheels spinning faster than the rear wheels which will most likely end in spectacular drivetrain failure.

    Sorry to tell you but that's correct.
